14. Restructuring Activities

In the fourth quarter of 2017, we announced a restructuring plan to further streamline our operations, eliminate redundancies at certain divisions and address certain operational functions. As part of the restructuring, we (i) consolidated the operations of three divisions into one, (ii) consolidated our sales, purchasing, bidding and proposal and accounting functions, (iii) expanded and refocused our marketing resources, including changes to key management positions at certain divisions, and (iv) exited certain product lines and related operations, including the eliminations of a number of warehouse locations.

 

Restructuring charges are recorded in accordance with ASC 420-10, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.” Under ASC 420-10, we established a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity, including severance and lease termination obligations, and other related costs. We will reassess the expected cost to complete the exit or disposal activities at the end of each reporting period and adjust our remaining estimated liabilities, if necessary. It is expected that the actions taken for this restructuring will be substantially completed by the end of 2018.

At December 31, 2017, we had recorded a liability of $1.8 million related to certain components of the restructuring reserve, which was included in “Accrued and other liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we reduced such liability to $1.3 million to reflect certain restructuring activities.
